Stimulation seeking and hyperactivity in children with ADHD

Article Abstract:

The effects of context on activity in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) were examined, to determine at what rate hyperactivity in ADHD varies during fixed time conditions. It is concluded that children with ADHD benefit from extra nontemporal stimulation, and that the effect is stronger for symptoms of hyperactivity. Children with ADHD also appeared to use more varied behavior to produce nontemporal stimulation.

ADHD and delay aversion: The influence of non-temporal stimulation on choice for delayed rewards

Article Abstract:

A group of children with a diagnosis of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a group with a diagnosis of high-functioning autism (HFA) and a normal control group were compared on an experimental paradigm giving repeated choices between small and immediate and large delays rewards. Results support the delay aversion hypothesis by showing that ADHD children choose delay rewards less than normal controls and high functioning autism children but show normal levels of choice when stimulation is added during delay.
